Мне грустно
 (Sung text for setting by N. Rimsky-Korsakov)

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Мне грустно, потому что я тебя люблю
И знаю: Молодость цветущую твою
Не пощадит молвы коварное гоненье.
За каждый светлый миг иль сладкое мгновенье
Слезами и тоской заплатишь ты судьбе.
Мне грустно, потому что весело тебе.
